Popular socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu, has lost the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial primary election for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

 

 

She lost the election to a chieftain of the party, Amanda Pam.

 

The activist-turned-politician had said her ambition to represent the FCT in the upper legislative chamber was driven by the desire to solve problems in the nation’s capital and give residents a stronger voice in government.

 

 

Aisha Yesufu, a staunch supporter of the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is currently being ridiculed on social media.

 

A Facebook user, one Comrade Idris Omuya, wrote, “Aisha Yesufu lost out in the NDC FCT senatorial ticket primary to this woman. Where are her Twitter and Facebook fans?”

 

 

Another Facebook user, Evangelist Divine Vessel, wrote, “This is the old woman who defeated Aisha Yesufu in the Abuja NDC Senatorial primaries. She has no social media account, she doesn’t go on TV stations to rant like a pregnant raccoon.

 

“She defeated the social media rabble-rouser and protest ambassador, Aisha Yesufu, at the NDC senatorial primary election.

 

“Politics is local, not social media and TV ranting.

 

“She has the structure and Aisha has the Twitter likes and Instagram comments, and elections are not won on social media.”
